Cpl. Husseini was in his personal vehicle driving to work when police say Murady got out of his car, walked up, and began shooting into Husseini’s SUV. After shooting at Husseini and running away, an HPD source said Murady returned to the scene and shot him again before leaving the area.
Murady was captured later that afternoon after being traced to Galveston. Authorities said he drove his vehicle into the Galveston Bay and tried to escape by jumping into the water. Murady was eventually rescued by a police boat and taken into custody.
Murady’s arrest led to Galveston County officials advocating for license plate reading cameras in the area, as the technology was used to trace Murady following the shooting.
